Sheffield history web page

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Just signed up to the forum and am happy to see so many Sheffielder's on-line. There's obviously an interest in local history, so I thought I would mention my web page about Shefield. I started it several years ago when there was virtually no mention of Sheffield on the web, with the intention of making Sheffield history available to all those who were interested. However, as with all good intentions, updates became fewer as other pressing matters took priority. Anyway, enough prattle, if you're interested, it's at www.jimsdesk.fsnet.co.uk

 

Look in the Sheffield section for items of interest. I can't claim anything original, it's all taken from local history books and is nowhere near finished. If you have anything to contribute, I'd be happy to hear from you.

 

Ignore the personal stuff, it's well out of date - I am now a sadder and wiser man - and soon to be single again!

 

Cheers.

 

Jim

You can put the URL in there and it will show you what was on the website.

Hi all, Been away from the forum site for some time due to personal stuff. Sorry the old web page (see thread below) no longer exists due to change of ISP. If you're still interested, you can view the history stuff at http://www.jimsdesk.co.uk

 

The site is still woefully out of date (ie needs updating) but doesn't affect the above.
